Summary
  • The aggravated problems of drug use and drug trafficking at the beginning of the 20th century resulted in a need to introduce effective counter-measures at an international level and in each country.
  • The various socio-political regimes in the CzechRepublic in the 20th century have had an impact on the government’s response to the phenomenon of drug distribution and drug use.
  • After the political changes in 1989 and the split of Czechoslovakia in 1993, several non-governmental organisations called upon the government to respond to the accelerated social phenomenon of drug use by establishing an effective drug policy system.
  • The drug policy is a set of diverse measures implemented by institutions with various specialisations and interests. Coordination is essential to ensure that all the stakeholders respect a joint approach.
  • The idea behind the coordination of the drug policy is to initiate and promote widespread cooperation, to optimise the use and outputs of existing resources, and to help form and implement effective measures.
  • The coordination of the CzechRepublic’s drug policy takes place at two non-interchangeable levels, central and regional (local), while employing instruments for horizontal and vertical coordination.
  • The ultimate goal of the drug policy is to reduce drug use and/or the potential risks and damage that individuals and society may suffer as a result of drug use.
The current Czech drug policy is based on the principles of so-called mainstream drug policies. It is based on a pragmatic and rational approach which lays down realistic and attainable goals (not a “drug-free society”). Resting on four main pillars (i.e. primary prevention, harm reduction, treatment and rehabilitation, and repression), it builds on comprehensive and long-term measures, making an effort to achieve a balance between prevention and repression. It is based on the latest and verified knowledge of drugs and drug use (Radimecký, 2001) and on a coordinated, interdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral approach to drug use.
